It's not unstable, stop repeating this falsehood. It does behave differently when high trust is applied, pitching up much more, and MCAS was introduced to counter/hide that. Earlier models did pitch up as well, all planes with engines under low wings do, and pilots or automatic systems have to deal with it.
This is not an issue of instability. The plane will remain at a level pitch/roll at a given thrust with the appropriate elevator trimming. An unstable plane would require constant input changes.
